Things that have made me happy today because I am extremely geeky ( Read more... )

I've been thinking, lately, about why I am, and always have been, so specifically a humanities student, when so many of my High Achievers classmates, although they've all specialised now, in VCE, were originally just as capable in maths and science as in English and history. And I've found two passages in, appropriately, a book, The Bell Jar, that ( Read more... )

I love these hours, before.

Threaded with anticipation, heart humming, every movement precise and deliberate. Choices made, rejected, chosen again. Opinions, laughter, singing in front of the mirror, stepping lightly across the paving stones outside. Testing the weather, picking up, discarding, all the while smiling.

Thirdly, I ordered posters. Doctor Who ( Read more... )

Well, apparently we're past the VCE-related nightmares and on to the uni-related ones.

I find it hilariously aggravating when newbies come into my fandoms and start saying "OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?" and "WHOA DID YOU KNOW THIS CHARACTER IS TOTALLY AMAZING?" and "THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD!!!!!!1!!!1"

It's like, DUDE. Do you really, honestly, in full knowledge of my intense love for this show, think that I haven't seen that clip? I have seen ( Read more... )

I really don't know why so many people I know think that feet are weird and icky. I actually quite like mine; I like how pale and smooth the skin looks, and how long my toes are.

Thought you ought to know.
